Post by thread:[OT] whither non-volatile LCD?

I think I read once about a new type of LCD that retains its image when power is removed. Anyone know who makes them? Thanks, Jim

No, I dont. But I wonder what is the great beneffit of it. Probably to keep showing "THIS DEVICE IS POWERED DOWN". :) Jim Hartmann wrote: > > I think I read once about a new type of LCD that retains its image when > power is removed. Anyone know who makes them? > > Thanks, > Jim

One of the major advantages was supposed to be zero power draw except for the brief time it was switching. For devices that don't change the LCD alot you can put the processor to sleep and turn the LCD off completely for the ultimate in power savings. Wagner Lipnharski wrote: {Quote hidden}> No, I dont.
